Jace DeMoss picked the perfect time for his first interception of the season, returning it 65 yards for a touchdown with 2:09 left to clinch Palos Verdes' 28-10 triumph over Bakersfield Christian in Saturday night's Southern California Regional Division 2-A bowl game at South Torrance High.
"I saw the quarterback drop back, I just faded back into coverage and the ball came to me," said DeMoss, a junior who also plays H-back. "I saw a receiver in front of me and cut up the field behind him."
"He's elusive, he makes really good decisions and he's our leader," DeMoss said of his signal-caller. "We knew with the team we had, it was possible to go far. I play more on offense, but I enjoy defense - it's more challenging and more creative."
Rakowski bounced off several tacklers like a pinball and raced 31 yards down the sideline on Palos Verdes' first drive of the second half, and the Sea Kings took control of the game.
